I have two calls in to churches trying to find us a Loganville home near the Snellville border. If anyone has any ideas please shoot them to me.

Great First Meeting

What a great first meeting.....
I am so happy to see everyone back and excited about scouts.

Couple of things to add to your list of things we will be doing this year.

October 19-21 Camping at Camp TimberRidge with your MOM (yes, this includes Gretchen, Ginger Shauna, and a few other moms who are not used to camping. All moms are invited to have a mother daughter weekend at camp. Pending approval from Counsel.

1. hiking
2. girls will cook
3. singing
4. crafts
5. to name a few

This is a option on our camping in Sept.
The Saturday is Girl Scout day at the ZOO. So my thoughts are we can camp out Friday night, Sat we get up and head to the zoo then come back and camp out Saturday

If this sounds like a plan each girl will need to bring 10 dollars to the Sept meeting for the zoo. Must also have your uniform shirt and vest for the zoo. (I see a Zoo patch coming) lets go learn about the animals.

Reminders:
5 dollars for your service unit dues
1 dollar dues at each meeting
